San Francisco Chronicle
It’s hard to know what to make of this, but it’s quite enough that it happens at all. The film has some longueurs — it isn’t scintillating for every second of screen time. But Marques-Mercet and his actors establish an intimacy with the audience that’s practically unique. Even if you love it only a little, not completely, you will probably remember 10,000 Km for the rest of your life. - 91
IndieWire
With time, the filmmaker achieves a small miracle by stringing together the movie's concise segments into an emotional whole. - 90
Variety
From first frame to last, the filmmaking exudes intelligence and control, with none of the chilly emotional distance those qualities can imply. Form and content are in near-perfect balance. - 83
The Playlist
Two actors. Two locations. Two laptops. One bittersweet movie. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
A well-crafted, tightly controlled and emotionally probing X-ray of the attempts of one couple to use tech to keep their relationship alive across a continent and an ocean, Long Distance is a satisfyingly solid example of form and content working together. - 75
Movie Nation
It’s a simple, cheap and limited concept beautifully executed. The players, especially Tena, tell us the story with their faces. - 70
Village Voice
It's ultra-serious, confined almost entirely indoors, and, with its Facebook pages and Google Maps walk-throughs, inextricably tied to the way we live right now. It's also well crafted and strikingly intimate. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Marques-Marcet, co-writer Clara Roquet and the actors are alert to something less obvious: the ways that they become self-conscious performers. Even though the characters aren't always likable, their pained awareness is poignant.
